Re: Installing Win98 on a linux box
Thierry ITTY kirjoitti 10.12.2002 kello 10:00: I've got to do some develompnet for a USB solution, my Windows machine's USB stuff doesn't seem to be working. Is it possible for me to install Win98 on my linux server, such that I can occasionally take it down do development work on it? I recall from days of old, that Windows had to be on the 1st hard disk, preferably on the 1st partition. Is that still the case? I dunno is I have much free space on the 1st HD, but maybe I can make something work. How do I go about changing partition sizes whatnot? Hei How much space is not much. I suppose that one thing you should find out is how much space you need for win98. If I were in your position I would download and use some parted root/boot disks. (note your linux should include parted but I always use the boot/root disk version) ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/bootdisk/partboot.img ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/bootdisk/partroot.img Read a little about parted: http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/~aclausen/parted-talk/ I would then boot with parted and change the partitions on your disk to make space for win 98. Install win 98 in the newly created partition. Reboot with parted. mount the partion that contains your linux installation and the /boot directory if you have the boot stuff in a separate partition. chroot /DIRECTORY_LINUX_MOUNTED_ON /bin/bash then fiddle with grub or lilo so that they can boot the win98. umount the linux partition. control-d to leave the chroot environment. Reboot and you should be able to see win98 as a choice in lilo or grub. Take your time and make sure that you feel confident about what you are doing b4 you start. No doubt others will suggest other methods. Read those suggestions b4 you go on as this is one way to do what you want - not the only or best. t.irvine Maksuton sähköposti aina käytössä http://luukku.com Kuukausimaksuton MTV3 Internet-liittymä www.mtv3.fi/liittyma -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: help with bootable raid
Sorry if I sounded a little aggressive here... it was three days of frustration and then someone pointing me at promise disk controllers and I was going way way way down the wrong route. Anyway, I think most of what you have said will help... but... Samuel Flory wrote: Bill Dossett wrote: snip.

Why do you need to build a custom kernel. Red Hat always compiles the raid driver as a module. If you install a kernel it should create an initrd for you. (At least it has for me for years.) Also if you just install a kernel instead of upgrading you should still have your old config. If I can't figure out how to get the module loaded ... correctly... via initrd, which I have tried numerous ways so far and though I see it load, I still get the dreaded failure during pivotroot and the system won't boot. Basically, I was hoping to write a howto, that would take into account grub, bootable softare raid, modules and converting from non-raid to raid without having to reload. I've worked on this for most of last week and pretty much came up against the wall that I am apparently not loading up my initrd the same way that redhat does... so I would really like to know how that is done... hopefully, I can write some documentation about it then, which I am fairly good at. Can anyone point me in the right direction to any documents about how to do this? Look and the linux documentation project. And secondly is there any further info on bootable sofware raid and what I do if one of the disk fails? I pulled one of the disks the other day while the system was powered down, and it wouldn't boot at all while it was out... that certainly is _not_ the way my hardware RAID systems work. I am using the GRUB boot loader and I assumed that each disk was bootable, but no go here, I had to put the disk back in before it would boot up again.. if they are going to offer us software raid, then I think they should follow thru and tell us how to use it. On older releases of Redhat lilo/grub was installed on only the 1st drive. You can manually install lilo on both disks fairly easily. (I don't use grub.) So... why, then, does the Redhat install default to grub, when I am doing a bootable software raid install? Seems a bit silly to load up a system that won't work... with no suggestions etc on how to fix it. Thanks, I'm afraid I'm getting a little disillusioned with RedHat these days... seems like there is the Linux way of doing things and the Redhat way of doing things and they are getting further apart all the time, and as that happens, I wonder more and more about hitching my horse to the Redhat wagon or not...

I usually swapped the mobo and/or CPU, then rebooted. No problem. I even moved the harddrives to a different case (AT - ATX) with new everything (except SCSI controller and video card). Two things to keep in mind, though: If you're using a customized kernel (i.e. one you compiled yourself), it's probably a good idea to have a standard Red Hat one around as well, unless you *know* that your customized kernel supports all of the new hardware as well. It's also a good idea to have a boot floppy around - I've had one occasion where the new SCSI controller seemingly returned slightly different values, causing LILO to fail. I think that Grub is a bit more tolerant there. It gets a bit more tricky when changing the hard drive itself, but even that can be done. I usually install the new drive(s) in addition to the existing one(s), making certain that the new ones come *after* the old ones (Examples: For EIDE, if you already have hda, make the new one hdb or hdc. For SCSI: If you have sda and sdb already, make the new one sdc). I then partition the new drive(s) using fdisk, then format them (mkfs and mkswap). Then I mount them somewhere on the existing filesystem and copy all the stuff from the old system. A few points to observe: - I recommend to copy /home and /var in single user mode, prefereably as the last step. That way you're certain to have all changes included. - I usually take care not to copy the lost+found directories - the new partitions will already have them and they will be the right size. If you overwrite them with old ones, that might not be the case. I usually rename or remove the ones on the old partitions (depending what I'm going to do with those partitions later). - Do *not* copy /proc - just make an empty proc directory on the new / partition. - Make sure you don't copy across mount points. Example: If you have separate /usr and /usr/local partitions on both the old system and the new system (I usually do), if you were to do 'cp -a /usr /NEW_ROOT', you would copy the whole /usr/local onto /NEW_ROOT/usr as well. This is not what you want - you want /usr/local to end up on its own, new partition. The best way around that is to mount all new partitions in place, e.g. mount /NEW_ROOT/usr, then make a new directory /NEW_ROOT/usr/local and mount the new /usr/local partition there. Now you can copy the whole /usr in one go and everything will end up where it belongs. Note that this will depend entirely on how you want the system to be laid out - the above is just an example. - Once you have copied everything, make sure you adapt /NEW_ROOT/etc/fstab to reflect the new mount points (in case they're different from the old system). Keep in mind that you'll be moving the drives (e.g. what's now sdc (new drive) will become sda later). After you've done all that, shut down the machine, move the new drives into the correct places (EIDE controller, SCSI ID, ...), remove the old ones and reboot USING A BOOTFLOPPY!!! You will need the boot disk as you need to reinstall grub or LILO on the new drive.

But I think that their answer will be that software RAID is intended to be used as a protection against data loss and unscheduled downtime from disk sector failures during runtime, I don't think that software RAID can be used *reliably* for resiliency at boot time because an IDE disk could fail in such a way that the PC BIOS detects the 1st bootable hard disk as present, and having a valid boot sector, but that cannot finish the full boot sequence. For example, let's say that the Head movement arm mechanism breaks so that the upper cylinder range is unreachable, but the MBR, and the /boot partition are reachable while the / partition is not. The PC BIOS would start the boot, the kernel would load and then panic because even though it could find the initrd image it couldn't read the /etc/raidtab file. Having LILO or GRUB installed on both drives is not a guarantee, it will only work in some limited circumstances. Maybe RedHat doesn't offer to set up your box that way is because they don't want to set false expectations that won't be lived up to.

Moreover, when an APC battery finally fails, the unit doesn't just flash a light or indicate the battery's dead--the whole unit goes dark. Now the part that's annoyed me. APC tech support, when contacted, will ask you to press a couple of buttons, then tell you the unit needs replacement and offer you an upgrade to a new APC UPS. This, in my mind, borders on fraud, and at least is sleazy business practice. Once I twigged on this, I started keeping an eye on clients. Numerous clients had already bought this line and spent, cumulatively, thousands of unnecessary dollars upgrading to newer UPS systems when all they needed were new batteries. I've saved others this expense by recommending after-market battery replacements.

Fetchmail and Fetchmailconf
Hi all Does any anyone know where I can get a fetchmailconf rpm that will work with the version of fetchmail (5.9.0-20.i386) that comes with RedHat 8.0? I got hold of Fetchmailconf-5.9.0-20.i386.rpm which happens to have the same version number as the mail program itself but it wouldn't run after installation. It comes up with the following error message: Fetchmailconf-5.9.0-20 requires fetchmail-5.9.0-20 even though the latter is installed. I've also tried to update fetchmail to 5.9.0-21, downloaded from the RH site but still no joy. Any ideas about what to do to get fetchmailconf to work would be very much appreciated.

Re: FTP trouble at the iptables firewall of the Redhat Linux.
Wow, how complicated. Seems like you could just set your INPUT and FORWARD default policies to ACCEPT. I mean you ACCEPT everything NEW, RELATED, ESTABLISHED both in INPUT, and in FORWARD. The only thing you are doing is protecting yourself from scans with invalid TCP/IP flag combinations. I have never seen .XXX.XXX notation? Have you tried 219.105.0.0/16 instead? And I have another question, is eth0 your internet facing interface? And is eth1 your internal interface? You don't need the PASS table or the PASS jump since you are allowing all forwards anyway. So what we are left with is: ## iptables -F iptables -F -t nat iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -d 219.105.0.0/16 -p tcp --dport 10023 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.0.128:23 # I am not including the FTP stuff because it won't work the # way you want. iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT The FTP thing won't work the way you are describing it. FTP requires 2 tcp connections, and I don't know how that is going to work on non-standard ports with NAT like this Anyway, if I were you I wouldn't allow telnet or ftp through from the internet. Install SSHD on your box and allow that instead. (set it up on a non-standard port). You might already know this, and are just showing an example But this firewall/router config is really bad security-wise.

So here I am trying it once again. It is really driving me crazy now as I am not able to make any link between the problem and the way I solve it. I have been facing the problem for quite some time. In my private network, I have 4 routers. The routers have been configured properly by setting the IP addr of the interfaces, gateways where ever neccessary and proper subnet mask. When I boot up the routers, I am unable to ping to any of the routers. I am unable to ping to the default route also. What happens next is very strange. I open the network configuration tool, look up all the setting without modifying any entry. Click on apply and then type the command 'service network restart'. Once the network is restarted, if I try to ping to the any router / default router it works. I have checked the network scripts for the interfaces and all the neccessary interfaces have 'OnBoot=yes'. I have been checking the log files also. Everything seems normal. I get one warning message xinetd: warning: cant get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected The cables are all connected and are working fine as the green light is on. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciate, Thanks, Rahul. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RH8.0 halts after partition check.
Hello all, I would happy if anyone has an idea why after installing RH8.0 the machine boots on it's own up until the partition check when it halts after displaying the hda etc. info. I do not think that the problem is with the partitions as I have tried many configurations (the disk was empty). I can boot up using the CD-ROM in rescue mode and it passes the partition check point. My PC has no floppy drive and this seems to be the next thing checked when booting (something is printed about ide floppy in the good case), could it be this that is the problem? Thanks in advance. 2Pin (:) P.S. SUSE 7.3 installs and boots OK, but I don't want to use that at the moment.

SNMP Trap Collection Deduplication
I plan on trying out some network management type software on Redhat 8.0. I'm looking at playing around with OpenNMS, Nagios, and possibly Big Brother. One thing I'm looking for is deduplication of snmp traps, something like the commercial Micromuse Netcool product can do. If it receives a trap that is the same as one it already has, it increases a count or tally instead of looking at it as an additional trap. Anyone know of any open source software that can do this? It's my understanding that these products don't collect the traps themselves, but rather they somehow use Redhat's trapd service, but either way, I'm trying to find something that deduplicates or recognizes multiple alerts for the same problem and somehow groups them so actions aren't taken multiple times. I don't know of a better place this post this question. If there is please let me know.

There are alot of features which have been added to the 2.5 tree. Red Hat has also added alot of features to it's 2.4.18 flavor of kernel which would make it's config incompatible with a stock 2.4.18 kernel from kernel.org While you could attempt to load it, many options would remain unrecognized (and most likely ignored), while others would remain undefined. You would still need to go through each section and confirm the selection. Your best bet would be to open two windows within the two trees. Run the config for 2.4.18-18.8.0 in one window under that source tree with the Red Hat config loaded, and run the config for 2.5.50 under the second window.

Re: GRC Port Scan Question/IPTables
Slightly OFF-TOPIC, I have a Cable Modem that dishes out a DHCP address to my Linux Gateway/Firewall server behind which is my home network. I used to get scanned several times a day the time until I started dropping ICMP Echo-requests, now I only get scanned once or twice a week, and usually just on ports where there are known vulnerabilities. (I of course keep the server up2date). So I run a few extra services on the internet (only a few) and I am the only person who ever needs them, so I run them on high un-reserved ports so that they don't get hit by the script-kiddies. In the unlikely event that there is a mass script-kiddie scanning fest on a remote exploit to a service that I am running and I haven't yet applied the patch, chances are that most (if not all) script-kiddies will miss it running on the higher port until I can fix it. Yeah, I know about the olde security-through-obscurity witticism, but I have demonstrable evidence that shows a dramatic decrease in hackerism on my box because of it. Anyway, just a thought.

Re: Possible: Painless switch of hard drive to new box?
Put both hard drives in the old box, but booting off the old one. Then use fdisk to partition up the new drive the way you like (don't forget swap space). make your filesystems Then mount up the new partitions in temporary mount dirs and cp -a the old file-systems to the new hard drive partitions. Once you are finished, use grub-install on the new disks MBR and edit the new /boot/grub/grub.conf to make sure you can boot If you have a custom kernel, make sure you also have a stock RedHat 7.3 kernel and modules in grub also.

Hi all
Does any anyone know where I can get a fetchmailconf rpm that will work
with the version of fetchmail (5.9.0-20.i386) that comes with RedHat
8.0? I got hold of Fetchmailconf-5.9.0-20.i386.rpm which happens to
have the same version number as the mail program itself but it wouldn't
run after installation. It comes up with the following error message:
Fetchmailconf-5.9.0-20 requires fetchmail-5.9.0-20
even though the latter is installed. I've also tried to update
fetchmail to 5.9.0-21, downloaded from the RH site but still no joy.
Any ideas about what to do to get fetchmailconf to work would be very
much appreciated.

NT to Linux transition ideas/advice
I am currently trying to plant the seed of transition from NT/2000 to Linux at the company I work at and was hoping to get some input from the Redhat list community. First some background. I am basically an end user of our desktops, but have knowledge of Linux because I manage and use a cluster/beowulf based on Redhat Linux. However, I think that Linux could be more cost effective and have been working on one of our IT folks about giving Linux a try. But to do this seriously, I need something other than I think it would be better. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone knew of any white papers or anything else I could start with that discussed the difficulty of the transition, costs associated with it, etc. The main apps that will be of issue will be 2 CAD packages, PRO/E and Unigraphics, metaphase, SAP, and the obvious desktop office apps. I think the open office with RH 8.0 will take care of most of the desktop office app stuff, but the others I'm not so sure about.

USB HDD on RH8 : comments
hello RH-list members ! from last week, i sent one or two messages concerning questions about the installation of large-storage USB-HDD on RH8. since 2 weeks, i try to install a 120 Go USB-HDD (4 FAT32 partitions). this USB-HDD is seen by the OS, but no possibility to mount it. i used it before with windowsXP, with the following partitioning, as viewed under RH : 'launch system tools hardware settings' /dev/sda1 : p1 : 30,2 Go /dev/sda5 : p2 : 30,1 Go /dev/sda6 : p3 : 30,2 Go /dev/sda7 : p4 : 18,6 Go in the /etc/fstab the declarations of options are the same as concerning a partition on the same disk (/dev/hdaX) in fact, 1. the RH8 OS recognizes large storage USB-HDD, and views the different partitions under /dev/sda tree. 2. the RH8 OS only mounts the p4 partition. its size is BELOW 20 Go ... so, maybe that partitions over 20 Go are too large to be mounted i did not do any other test for the moment to confirm if the size is the only parameter to take in account. so, any comment would be appreciated, and i hope this can help some of us ...

The apps you need may not be available for Linux. I do not recommend that you choose an OS. I recommend that you choose your apps, then run the required OS. If you'd like to introduce Linux in your organization, the best way to do it is to look for tasks where Linux would be a better choice than the existing tools. New network infrastructure servers are a good place to start. Here are some ideas: - A file server for a branch office or workgroup that is going without primarily because of a lack of NT/2000 licenses. - A secondary incoming SMTP server for those times when the Exchange server is down. - An LDAP server for a group that needs to maintain a shared set of contacts. - A print server that converts printjobs to PDF and delivers them to the user via email. Linux has excellent scripting and text processing tools. Are there any reporting, analysis, or batch processing jobs that are done by a junior tech? The Linux desktop is already good enough if you have basic office needs. But if you have any specialty apps, or Windows-only apps, you should probably stick with Windows for those users. Whatever idea you come up with, a five minute demonstration is worth more than hours of persuasion. Figure out something that needs doing that you know how to do.
